Max Newman

From 1927 to 1945 he was a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Cambridge, where his 1935 lectures on Foundations of Mathematics inspired Alan Turing to embark on his pioneering work on computing machines. Newman was appointed head of the mathematics department at the University of Manchester, England, in 1945 and transformed it into a center of international renown, retiring in 1964.
